I promised myself this season I wouldn´t attend any fashion shows at Madrid Fashion Week. Not because I´m not interested, just because I knew how much it would upset me. However it felt so good to be back at the shows. This year there is such a strong energy. I attended Palomo Spain show a couple of days ago and I swear to God I´ve never seen anything like it in my life. And I´m not talking only about the collection (which was absolutely brilliant), I´m talking about the whole environment, the people waiting outside the venue to watch the show. The young crowd these days have such a powerful identity and such an ability to translate it into their outfits which don´t feel forced any more (unlike a few years ago, when people were getting dressed for the picture and not for themselves any more). I feel actually proud to see this kids expressing themselves so freely, so careless. When I talk about this with older friends they agree and they can only compare it to the 80s in Madrid with the so called Movida, a creative movement as a reaction to the dictation years in Spain which gave birth to the most inspiring directors, singers, designers and celebrities from Spain. People that make me proud to be Spanish, people who are now my friends but who have been my reference during my studying years, during my years as a student, as an assistant for many designers.

It is also true I can´t fucking wait for this misserabe year to end. I hate 2017 its been the worst year ever. Good things have happened yes, but the worst things have happened too. I cant wait for 2018 to arrive and never look back. I WANT 2018 TO INSPIRE ME TO KEEP INSPIRING OTHERS. I WANT GET TO KNOW ALL THIS KIDS, MEET NEW PEOPLE. SEE WHAT THEY DO, WHAT THEY WANT TO BE. MAKE THINGS. ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO BE INSPIRED
